I thought this Martin Luther King Jr. was fitting for this week's events...as we deal with situations and people who bring hate towards us, I think it is important that we bring the light and love of a bigger cause to the situation.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Love this quote !!!!!
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”— Aristotle
This quote is very important for the work that I do. Being a student in higher education (to me) is more than attending class (especially being that a lot of issues discussed I am already aware of) but learning how to be the change you want to see. If administrators, professors, and other higher education officials understood the essence of this quote students would be into the tangible and intangible practices of humanity. The heart is what inspires people to be forward-thinking, imaginative, thoughtful, innovative, and conscious. Education is about improving the state of society and without intriguing the hearts and minds of people the status quo will always stay the same. People always say follow your heart, but the heart needs to be fueled by love, education and motivation in order for that journey to stay true and progressive. As scholars and master teachers let's promote basic principles of humanity, that encourages us to really put our learned theories into practice. In this, we do not go into our work with selfish and unthoughtful motives but staying critical and reflective in what we do. Take advantage of spreading ideas, giving hugs, articulating profound knowledge and celebrating who we are. There are millions of people (including us) who are in need of the knowledge and practices that fuels the heart and soothes the soul.
